Sorry... well, sorta at least. Fantasy, yes? :)

Based on your Talk membership, you get far more ARCs than I do.

Love David Wellington. I'm in the middle of two of his series. 13 bullets and 99 coffins are about vampires. 99 coffins was first-rate! Monster Island and Monster Nation are about Zombies. I loved Monster Island but didn't care that much for Nation. I've heard he's also going to do werewolves, so whatever floats your boat.

I love Michael Parks. Also Amy Brown, do you like her?

999 challenge is just a group of people trying to stretch ourselves so we don't read the same stuff all the time. You choose 9 categories (they can be anything, fiction, non-fiction, books my Mom likes, books about Africa, etc) and then read 9 books in each of those categories all in 2009. We're a chatty bunch and there's always a lot of recommendations. I love LT for the community. You're very welcome to join us!

I was just noticing what an interesting mix of books we share.

Hey Belladonna, thanks for stopping by to tell me about Hoffmann. Actually, I adore Wuthering Heights so it might work out. But if I don't like it, I won't hold it against her. I'll definitely read Practical Magic, others have recommended it to me recently. Any other authors you think I should look into?

Wow! 901 books. Impressive. ;o) I bet know that you've got them all scanned in you want to buy even more! My cuecat needs to hurry up and get here so I can scan mine and see what my total comes to.
